That, in faCt, it was not intended at the time the Patents were originally granted, that there shoukl be only two Theatres, but in,:e ,o restrain play-aEting, as before that ti me , th rp wfrie a' least between 40 and 50 play houses in LOndon and its snburbs, and the Parents .granted by Charles the Second were intended that the Drama should be, regularly attended to; as well ,for the sake of morality, as of the amusement of the public. Mr. W. then called their _Lordships' attention to . the great increase of the population of the Country, and stated that it was not only the in-. habitants ot the cities of London• e and Westminster that- visited TheatreS, but persons from all quarters of England, which increased the population ot Lon don to-1,000,000, and how could the Theatres al ready established entertain even a small portion of that.

'"As . to there being no security to the creditors, 10' do away that die - Boulty; if their Lordships Would be pleased. to recommend the •gi . airting, a , Charter, they would pledge them selves to deposer in the.

FAwnNEK : lben read a Pelition presented by 'Mr. Grey - Mt-, -which stated •that lie had long had it ire .onteoi, 1 ition' to creel a third Theatre in Lon don; and as long ago as April last, he wrote to Alr. Percevalon the subject, re9uesting his - advice as to the propriety of .brineing a Bill ieto Parliament for that purpose, who ietureed for aitswer,. that it was then too far advanced in the SesSion to present any -Petition for priVate Bill, and that if it wa, pre sented, ha (Mr. Perceval) did not think it would succeed. the Petition also states, that Mr. Sheri dan Avoeld give his assistance; and that the eriesent application was endeavouring to wrest frOm him a boon that he already received from the Lord Chamberlain by a lieenSe. The Petitioner states that he had been,twenty-five , years in his Majesty's service,- and' being of an a6tiveemind turned his thoughts to' the 'Drarna and Polite Arts, and con cluded by praying that his Majesty would not grant a charter to the Petitioners,- but that if a third The atre was necessary,. lie had a claim prior to theirs. Mr. FAWKNER then read a Petition front Mr. Sheridan, principal PrOprietar of the Theatre Royal, •Drury-later :it slated a gereral history of the The etre. The Petitioner stated that he heard . with astonishment and iocredulity that a plan was in, agitation tot tak ng adVantage of - the present situa lion of Drury-la: e Theatre, and thereby. destroying the means and the pessibilitY - re...beading ihe said lleettrerned on which property much exceeding the sem "of 300,0001. had been embarked 5. and that such a pioposition should have'olatained the sanction of respeetaele subsc'ribers.

Mr. FANyKNIIR readara Petition from Mrs. Sheri dan, the wile of Mr. Thomas Sheridan,-to the same, effeee, which stated that Mr. T.

This pet ition sta:ed that Mr. Elli . ton laid 2,4001. a year for the rent of the abo‘.e Theatre awl that by granting a third Thea, ere, it would infringe Upon •lris property •: and that ire consetiCeticc of an additional authority' lately reeled him by :the LOrd Chathberlain, he'had gaged 'Eijneinbert - of persons at. a considerable ex p uce and praying that his Majesty would not eront °barter or Patent.

After this, Mr. Sheridan; quitted the Churl', , Mr. CURWOOD then entered into a long history of she Stage, fro .1 the.rcign of Queen Anne;. and co , tended that the-Lord Chamberlain had no power over the present Theatres, and that tbe.assumed power of the Lord Chemherlain - .over the „Play bonSes, originated by King Charles having' a com pany of performers in pay as servants, Who wore his livery, and, acted in every respect as such. He tploted a ininilier cases tOAhe present ap plication,-and concluded by saying, that the present Covent-Garden Theatre. ,was SO very inconvenient, that any of their Lordships, and the female part of their families, could not . go in or out of the' Theatre, without being annoyed by a certain description of persons, and _that it was the intention of the archi led to build robbies, Bre.- so as to remedy that great inconvenience. Mr. ADAM then addressed their Lordships on 'be half of the Proprietors of Covent-Garden Theatre, and Mr. and Mrs. Sheritran. He briefly stated, that what had been said on the other - side convinced him more of the impropriety of granting a Charter . for a thud Theatre, as his Learned"l'riends had said, that they should have a capital of from- foity to fifty thousand - pound4 . always at hand ; - and that there fore :he agreed.. with the Attorney and Solicitor_ General that : it . would be giving a great advantage, to the IS T e‘ii Theatre over the old ones. Mr. Adam conQltided With a pathetic address to their Lordships' feelings reipcaing the injury the granting the Char ter would be to Mr. Sheridan,•and the other Peti tioners. Mr. RANDLE& JACKSON presented himself oh be half of the Trustees of Drury-Lane; but the speeches of the other learhe 1 Gentleihen having . - oLcopied : three hours," their Lordships adjourned. the further hearing of the question to a future day.

Draper were tried for a grand larceny, in stealing from-the chariot of the Rev. Joseph Jefferson, two trunks, containing a considerable quantity of articles.- It appeared that Mr. Jefferson left Chelmsford between seven and eight o'clock in the evening of . the 22d of January last, intending to go to London. The property above-mentioned was contained in two trunks, strapped behind the -carriage . ; the servant, his:Sharpe, following his Master on horseback, at a shoit distance behind. Halt-way between,Chelms 7 ford and logatestone, the servant met a tall man go ing towards the - former place, with a trunk on his shoulder, winch he remarked at the time, re- , seinbled very much one of his master's trunks. He did not, hoWever, entertain any suspicion that his master had been robbed, but on the a'rrival of the carriage at ingatestone, he missed bOth the trunks _ from behind the chariot, and found that the straps which held them had been coat across. This occur-. recce he immediately con.monicated to his master, and mentioned also the vireum9ance - of his having met a man on the road with a trunk on hi', shoul der.. Mr. Jefferson immediately set a diligent inquiry on foot, and after a considerable degree of difficulty traced the robbery to the 'tiro pfisuners,wlio were pri vate soldiers, and stationed in the New Barracks at Cbeltnsford, - in' whose rooms some part of the pro perty was found, and the remainder euncedled tu ditch. " • The further iderrtity of the robbery with the pri soners was ascertained :row the evidence Of a young woman named Jdne Evans, who cohabited with ~Draper, and she proved that both "t;re 'prisoners came to • he but in the barracks where she lived, with a trunk, containing a quantify .of • shirts, and other wearing apparel, which afterwards 'moved to be the property . of the prosecutor.. The prisoners strenuously denied the charge, but were both fend guilty. John Houghton; a boy under fourteen, was capi 7 tally indicted fur stealing in the dWelling-house of Mr: Chinnery 301. in Bank notes, the property of John Bennett. It appeared that the prisoner was a tap-boy; and lived in the service of Mr. Chinnery, at Abridge, in whose service also the prosecutor lived as post lad. The prisoner slept in the.same bed with ano ther lad, (against whoM a bill of indictment had also been preferred for this robbery, but ,not found by the Grand" Jury) in the same room whet e thepro secutor slept. In consequence of the prisoner's leaving the service of his master abruptly, the pro secutor_was induced- to search' hii trunk, which he found broken open, and all -his money gone. He applied to a Constable, who went in search of the prisoner, and traced him to his mother's' house, and oncharging him with the robbery, he confessed the 'fad, but declared he had taken the money at the instigation of his other fellow-servant. Verdi&— Curity—Degth. illeshach Reed, a private in the King's Dragoons, was convicted . of feloniously stopping a man, named Easty Ford, on the King's highway, and presenting a pistol to his head, sk ith intent to rob him. The prisoner was taken into custody, about an hour after 'the robbery, at his barracks, near RornfOrd ' • but in consequence of his aCtive exertions during his con finernenc in subduing a riot and disturbance in the gaol, the .learned Judge mitigated his- punishment from sevep years tiauspoi tition to one year's con finement in the House of CorreClion. Wednesday se'nnight a fire broke out at Mrs. Co. rner's, at Godney, near Glastonbury, which con stated - the dwelling-house, barn, and outhouses, the greatest part of tthe household furniture, about thrpe ton of cheese, one bullock, six weaned calves, 'and a small quantity of hay and corn. The property .was not insured ; and Mrs. Corner Was at a distance from home, attending the funeral of her brother.
